Initial dаta: it is necessary to test the server application, which receives a task as input, calls the API during execution, each subsequent request depends on the API response.

In the analytical project "RFM" the goal is less ambitious -
Small green button
. You click, and the database is automatically divided into segments, by which the sending of letters is started (for example).
